New Addition to the Family :)

Ricky and I are so excited to announce that we will soon be welcoming a new member to our family!!! Last night we bought a piano! ;) We have been wanting one since we got married and it just hasn't happened. Last night I had about a half hour before I could put the kids to bed, and jumped online to dream. Living in Tremonton, the idea of driving very far isn't so attractive, so I was about to give up. Then I saw it....Tremonton! I called and left a message. I then went and started brushing kids' teeth to get ready for bed. She called me back. She said that she has dropped the price so many times because she is having a hard time selling it. See, like me, people don't want to have to drive all the way to Tremonton. So, it was down to $300. We could totally do that! I told her I was very interested, but since I wasn't REALLY looking to buy a piano right now I was going to have to think about it and I would call her in the morning.
Less than 20 min later, she called me back. Apparently another local had called her and wanted to go look at it in the morning. I babysit on Tuesdays, so the earliest I could get over there would be around 4. My heart sank. By now it was 8:30 and the kids usually are in bed at 8, but were still up....SO, I asked if I could come look at it right now! She agreed. She actually lives in my parents-in-law's ward and my mother in law is an excellend pianist, so I picked her up on the way. Kids and I in our pajamas and ready for bed, we went to check out the piano. My mother in law sat and played a little bit, inspected it, and told me it was a steal at $300. So, I wrote the check and sealed the deal before I left the house! I wasn't about to let some other person get the deal before me. I couldn't believe that after having it for sale for over 3 months that there were 2 of us that called the same night!! I had to make a quick decision. I didn't even talk to Ricky about it until after it was a done deal. :) He was really excited, as I knew he would be! Now I just have to wait until Friday when Ricky comes home from WY so I can actually have it moved to my house! Here it is!!
